@ 03protege,I'll Do some research and contact them

 

[samiam]

I shot them am E-mail

I spent 23 years in the military and even at this point in my life I would love to go out and play army. LOL

 

[03protege]

It seems very beginner friendly, and I love old war guns.

 

[samiam]

It looks like there is even vimbar sniper matches, way cool!

I know the Southwest Gun Club in McComb has CMP Garand/Vintage Bolt Action Matches.

I wouldn't mind getting some of the old guys out of the safe and onto the range.

From the research I have done there is only 3 states that have vimbar Matches Montana, utah and Nevada. So it will be something new here. Vimbar matches would be another reason to spend the day at the range. I shot my first CMP Garand/Vintage Bolt Action Matches last weekend Yes you can shoot a bolt action in these (I Did and was the only one and I was as busy as a one legged man in an a$$ kicking contest compared to the guys shooting the semi autos) from looking around for vintage bolt action matches they are few and far between on the gulf coast.

Wow that's from 2003! But it look likes the 1903A3 was the choice for those guys.

@ dwr461
That match looks like it would be great for beginners it was shot at only 100 yards and at rest.

 

[crippy02]

I'd bring my FR8 out for that.

Boy howdy! I'd love to pull out my Swede M96 and M1 Garand. Got a shooting buddy that I'm sure would like to shoot his in competition also.

I sent them an email but I have still have not gotten a reply. I will see if I can find a another point of contact. BTW its good to see another swede fan also. I have a M96, M38 and an AG42B

I know this thread is pretty old but I would definately be in for this if we could set it up. Im sure a buddy of mine would too.

 

[Cochise]

Gotta love a thread resurrected from the dead.

This is still a great idea, though. I'd love to participate in something like that.

GOt this in the email today about cmp games matches in Georgia, for those vintage shooters.http://www.odcmp.org/0212/default.asp?page=CMPGAMES_GA

And by the way, anyone that can safely do so is welcome to fire a vintage rifle at either Palo Alto or Gonzales's monthly matches. If enough of you start doing it, they may make a special division for yall like we do for match rifle/ service rifle.
